George Squires’s work is led by intuition and perplexity. Encounters with everyday objects present numerous questions and associations, demanding to be addressed in the studio. Typically, found objects are extended through a wide range of methods, like casting, carving, and assemblage. These processes of transformation are rarely complete in Squires's work: material honesty and illusion coexist in a state of poetic reciprocity. Within the artist's work truth and fiction occur simultaneously.
